Oggi’s location sells in Garden Grove

A 6,500-square-foot Oggi’s Pizza & Brewery property at 12362 Chapman Ave. in Garden Grove has been sold to its franchisee for an undisclosed sum.

The property was sold by Valore Ventures, which bought four adjacent restaurants in January in Garden Grove.

“We found that the properties were better suited as individual parcels that could help satisfy local investor demand for strong assets,” said Kenny De Angelis. “With this restructuring, we were quickly able to place the Red Robin and Joe’s Crab Shack parcels with the ideal investors, and now this Oggi’s owner was able to buy his restaurant.”

Built between 2001 and 2008, the restaurants are part of a larger development that includes three high-rise hotels and a 2.78-acre parking lot owned by the hotels but reserved for restaurant use. Two hotel projects next door are slated to start construction later this year.

Matthew Mousavi and Patrick Luther of SRS Real Estate Partners’ National Net Lease Group represented Valore Ventures in the disposition.
